ZU (IPECAC RECORDS)

With their original line-up (since 1999) of drums (Jacopo Battaglia), bass (Massimo Pupillo), and saxophone (Luca T Mai), they gradually developed into their current form of highly intricate experimental / metal / math / no-wave / free / noise / punk / jazz inspired work, breaking from the narrow confines of given music genres, and incorporating a wide array of influences into a unique sound. Driven by a 'Black Flag' work ethic, Zu have played the astounding number of over 1000 gigs all over Europe, America, Canada , Asia, Russia, and even Africa, and have released 14 albums on such labels as Ipecac, Atavistic, Frenetic, Red Note, Public Guilt, Headz (Japan), Wallace etc.

Zu have collaborated with a vast number of great musicians as: Mike Patton, The Melvins, Dalek, The Ex, Peter Brtzmann, Hamid Drake, Ken Vandermark, Alvin Curran, Nobukazu Takemura, Damo Suzuki, Eugene Chadbourne, Mats Gustafsson, Han Bennink, Paal Nilssen-Love, Fred Lonberg- Holm, Joe Lally (Fugazi), Altered States, Amy Denio, Steve MacKay (The Stooges) and shared tours and stages with: Fantomas, The Melvins, Lightning Bolt, The Ex, Ruins, Dalek, NoMeansNo, Vandermark 5 and The Thing.

KONG (BREW RECORDS / WHITE DRUGS)

Kong is not a name chosen by accident. All are / were / shall be in other, perhaps more commercially viable bands, which is notable only because it fills out their biography and creates the impression of a deeper back-story, which becomes, by definition, massively interesting to idiots.
